Mahabharata Unravelled - II: The Dharma Discourses by Ami Ganatra
informative
inspiring
medium-paced
4.5
Mahabharata Unravelled II: The Dharma Discourse is a compilation of the various dharma sutras (guidelines) mentioned in the ithihasa by different characters. The author not only structured them in a neat order but also simplified the lessons/ rules to make them reader-friendly.
Additionally, the author provided comparisons and explanations wherever necessary. I love the multiple references and examples of Chanakya’s works and how his lessons (as well as the ones from our scriptures) are useful even today. If only the governments were sensible enough to follow them properly!
Even if you haven’t read the Mahabharata or the first book, I would recommend reading this one, especially if you are interested in the various forms of dharma and want to know what the term actually means. Moreover, the book would be useful for those in corporate/ entrepreneurship/ politics/ and just about anywhere in life.
